Unsp dislocation of right acromioclavicular joint, sequela

This code signifies a long-term complication or late effect resulting from a dislocation of the right acromioclavicular (AC) joint, where the specific type of dislocation was not documented. This could include chronic pain, instability, or degenerative changes that persist after the initial injury has healed.

Apply this code when a patient presents with a current condition directly attributable to a past, unspecified dislocation of their right AC joint. This is appropriate for follow-up encounters addressing residual problems or sequelae, rather than the initial acute injury.

• Always ensure documentation clearly links the current condition to a past AC joint dislocation.
• The "S" in the 7th character indicates this is a sequela code, meaning it's used for complications or conditions arising after the acute phase of an injury.
• Do not use this code for acute or initial dislocations; those require codes from the acute injury phase.
